Walk to the surf, grab a coffee, or enjoy dinner out — everything is right on your doorstep. When the surf’s up, head to the beach; when it’s calm, the Whangamata Harbour (600m away) is ideal for swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding, or a daring jump off the wharf. Fully Fenced, Family & Pet-Friendly Section The large, fully fenced section makes WhangaBach an ideal choice for families with children or pets. Parents can relax knowing kids and furry friends can play safely within secure boundaries. There’s plenty of flat lawn space for bikes, backyard cricket, or water fights, and even a trampoline for endless fun. You’ll also have ample off-street parking for cars, boats, and beach gear — all safely tucked away behind the gate. Outdoor Living & Entertaining After a day at the beach, fire up the BBQ on the sunny rear deck, or enjoy dinner under the stars. The modern kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need, including a Nespresso machine and dishwasher. If you’d rather eat out, walk just a few minutes to cafes, bars, and restaurants — or grab some fish & chips to enjoy back at the bach.

Just turn 'right' at the round-about and you are in town for a stroll through the shops or sit at the many cafes. New World is also only minutes away... ##### Anthony H. Stayed 6 nights in Jan 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 15 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Convenient Location We were a family of five plus two extra teenagers. We enjoyed our stay at WhangaBach. It is in a great location - a couple of minutes walk to town and only a few more to the beach. It's a very spacious section, so lots of room for cars, bikes and games. It has a lot of beds, although the bunk room in the house is very small. We found it comfortable for seven people and the sleepout is fairly spacious and convenient with it's own bathroom and small kitchenette. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 21 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Stay Amazing place!
